The simplest equation is that for Mumbai to beat Hyderabad and Bangalore to lose to Gujarat. Mumbai will be in trouble if Bangalore wins against Gujarat today. There is a difference of 80 runs in the net run rate of Mumbai and Bangalore. If Mumbai beat Hyderabad by 90 runs, then they would have to hope that Bangalore could not win by more than 10 runs. Mumbai Indians are at the sixth position in the points table. Mumbai’s net run rate is currently -0.128. Mumbai Indians will be out of the tournament if they lose the match today.
